NASHVILLE, Tenn. – To really understand how Eric Church feels about the Holdin’ My Own Tour, you have to see things from his perspective standing at the mic. For the last five months, country music’s most electric performer has stood face-to-face with nearly 1 million people and truly connected.

When Eric Church’s 2017 Holdin’ My Own Tour launched in January, the sixty-two-stop tour encompassing 40+ states and provinces in less than five months promised to give fans everything in Church’s arsenal.
